Hi all. Just building a new smoke house. My question is am I ok to use fir dowels to hang the sausage? I have a bunch and am on a budget and would rather not have to buy more. Thanks for the help.

If you must... Oak would be better... just wrap foil around those fir dowels each time ... ...

What would the concerns be with using fir? Is it poison?

I would think as long as its good and dried out.  Fir shouldn't hurt to use.

They are kiln dried.

Fir is fine. Been using mine for 8+ years.

Just wondering, how big around are they. I got pine closet poles thinking that could be alittle big for sausage? Haven't done any yet.
